A Place for Truth and Healing
“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start,
anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”
Carl Bard
WELCOME TO OUR PRACTICE
I want to provide hope and courage for those who want to be free from the shame of addiction or other struggles. Beginning on this journey requires bravery to leave behind previously held thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I want to help as you establish a foothold, a starting point and a renewed spirit of commitment.
If you are struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors or other issues, I know you may find yourself in a place of shame, denial, confusion, fear, frustration, and even hopelessness. I will meet you wherever you are right now, and walk with you as you find your way. There is a path forward, and you do not have to do it alone.
As a practicing Pediatrician for 25 years, I journeyed with many families through life-changing events—birth, death, disability, behavioral challenges, life-threatening illness, chronic disease, along with more ordinary day-to-day struggles. As a husband of more than 36 years and a father and grandfather, I’ve also faced challenges within my own family.

GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
Please note: You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call us at 210.468.3202.
